Leeds come back from 2-0 down and win 3-2. The fat lady isn’t singing but she’s starting to pour the jelly…

You should speak to Yasir about point 2, he’s posting videos of you on Twitter and you certainly don’t have a straight face on them!

No worries, here we go: 1) We sign who we can afford to sign, the club was decimated financially because of COVID resulting in the owners having to buy the training ground off the club they already own. This club loses money every single day and therefore FFP restricts that. Arguably a strong CEO would find ways of generating more money to help this, ours seems to struggle. 2) We go on a bad run because the manager is poor. It happens every year, repetitivenesses cannot be attributed to anything but poor leadership decisions. 3) We play Johnson upfront because the manager has limited options and thinks it’s the best option. It isn’t the best option, as it was proved. Ignore all of the “I’m happy with my team”, he isn’t, if he was allowed to replace Gallagher he would have done, but he can’t say that. 4) If you believe the club is a basket case, how on Earth can you sit in the posh lounges at Ewood on match day making Twitter videos with club management with a straight face? There’s a reason they don’t let the likes of Kamy and Glen Mullan swan around in there… and it’s not because they can’t afford it!

The stage floor is yours Darren, if you can substantiate it then we’re all ears?

These money laundering rumours have gone on for about 15 years now and I’m yet to have anyone explain how it’s a remote possibility or even viable. Until someone can do that, I’m putting it in the nonsense category.

Because my list has the leaders who are willing to rock the boat in order to get the performances needed!

If we finish in the top six this season it’s because of the likes of Lenihan, Dack, Travis and Johnson rather than JRC, Khadra, Rothwell and Dolan.

Points will be dropped but it’s the stage of a season where 4th and 5th decide to settle on a 1-1 for both of their safety. We had the same thing when we where second, unless you’re picking up maximum points it’s better to have games in hand in a chase.

Very dangerous mindset, I hope the players aren’t thinking like that. As far as I’m concerned there’s 8 teams above Rovers with their own destinies in their own hands. Us finishing in the top six relies on others failing.

Also I have absolutely no faith in this manager to manage a top six finish.

I’m telling you he’s not a 5m pound player but if he’s played down the middle and you put crosses in he will score 10-15 a season.

Right, it’s that time of the weekend again when I’m forced to post this. I’m really down in the dumps about that result. It’s so predictable but I continue to watch because I desperately hope it doesn’t turn out the way that I know it will do. And still, my phone beeps away to my left as emails come through as posts are reported on here - mostly for baiting - despite K-Hods warning. So let me be clear, every time my phone goes off, if it’s an email with a report of a post that breaks the very simple forum rules, I’ll be banning you for 3 days.

2 weeks.

Leaderless set of bottle jobs. Not one of them stood up today and not one of them can say they’ve done their jobs. Piss poor. Believed their own hype and can’t do the basics. Sack the manager this is on his watch, it’s neglect of his doing.

It is, the pace is already on the ball all that was needed was to direct it between the sticks.

This is absolutely unbearable it really is. We’re going to miss out on the top-six in the weakest championship in years because we’re totally incapable of finishing chances.

The Dack chance in the penalty box is as bad as the penalty.

They’re all over us since we changed formation.

It really is games like this, with stakes like this, where leaders step forward. This team are desperate for one of the attackers to take responsibility on their shoulders and force a goal. Rothwell invisible, Buckley a liability, Gallagher totally useless.

This is absolutely painful get Buckley and Gallagher off they’re hindering us if anything.

Absolutely.

Is “Bradley Dack Saturday” a new-gen football term?

Shocked - but delighted - to hear Travis has renewed, it doesn’t really add up to me that players would sign long term deals with alleged uncertainty around the managers future.

From what I’m told there’s an open secret at Brockhall that Tony stays regardless of this season. Owners trust him, the Rovers staff are built around him, the players like him.

I suspect Ben will be going to play for Chile against Brazil. And they’ll play him despite him still being injured.
